Description of Activity
Challenge questions guide a deeper inquiry for especially thoughtful individuals and groups. For this session, ask:
Is there value in asking big questions if we already know we might not ever find the answer?
Extend discussion with these additional questions:
- Would you rather have someone tell you an answer or work it out yourself?
- How are the acts of questioning and looking for an answer holy work/religious work?
- Is there value in asking big questions if we think we already know the answer?
